Submit posts (from anywhere) where people unknowingly describe themselves.

Specifically, someone who, when attempting to mock or denigrate their political opposition, accidentally describes themselves. They aren't self aware enough to notice. Or, alternatively, someone who accurately describes the world while trying to parody it.

yeah but capitalism is baked into the fundamental laws of the universe and is necessary for humans to exist, while a livable climate is totally optional.

The engagement declining over time is satisfying to see

Unfortunately could just be a product of the fact that the older ones are older.

Idk about twitter but socials engagement is usually heavily frontloaded and exponentially decays after it gets posted or goes viral.

I'd imagine this is even more true with twitter, since I doubt people are seeking out, like, 6mo tweets to peruse.

Maybe, but the drop mostly seems to happen in the 6 months from the Jan 2023 post to the Jul 2023 post, and we know this is from at least Dec 2025 based on the top most instance, so in all it really isn't a big time difference for such a sharp decline

I can't tell if the lower number of likes each posts reflects the decline in twitter users or a positive shift in political opinion

Depends if you believe likes are mostly organic instead of being fabricated by X itself to support a certain political creed.

"End climate change" translates to "end capitalism"

[–] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Hell even if climate change wasn't a huge exasperating issue, ending capitalism would still be a good thing to do. Ending homelessness = Ending Capitalism Ending World Hunger = Ending Capitalism Ending Arms proliferation = Ending Capitalism So many knock-on benefits to ending Capitalism.
